Liminality: The Hole Within the Narrative

Throughout different moments in time we are faced with transition. How we navigate these uncertain and disorienting stages can provide healing and growth. I also recognize the loss that often accompanies the transition provides a passageway for us to continuing moving forward. Much of my thesis work explores the body as a vessel and the complicated relationship between seemingly disparate processes: internal and external, beauty and the grotesque, life and death. While reflecting on how bodies undergo transition and how we process loss, I am fascinated with how wounds, both physical and emotional, become markers of injury and recovery, trauma and triumph. The necessity for us to mourn our previous and evolving self becomes essential for how we persist and progress.
